"1408" Writer to Adapt Stephen King's "Pet Sematary"

Matthew Greenberg (Reign of Fire, Halloween: H20, Mimic), who wrote the Stephen King adaptation "1408," is moving on to another King property, "Pet Sematary." Lorenzo di Bonaventura recently boarded as producer on the long-gestating project, which is set up at Paramount.

Published in 1983, King's tale centered on a family that trades the city life for the country life in Maine, then discovers that they have moved near a pet cemetery that rests on an ancient burial ground. When the husband's toddler son is killed in an auto accident, the father takes the boy's body to the cemetery, where it is resurrected in demonic form.

Paramount brought the book to life in 1989, with a feature version adapted by King that starred Dale Midkiff, Denise Crosby and Fred Gwynne. At one point, George Clooney was circling the new film.

WHY!!! God this really pisses me off!!! The amount of regurgitated sh*t Hwood is reaching epic proportions. The town is completely out of ideas and is getting lazier by the minute. Pet Sematary is yet another classic that needs no retelling, but that won't stop Hwood from trying to rape it for another dollar. f*ck YOU HWOOD, YOU f*ckING SUCK!!!

~I agree SAC, The thing is, reading a horror ensures that all the horror and gore, although probed, is left to your own imagination, so no film is ever going to scare you as much as the book it's trying to success!

@SAc The book seemed like a huge build up that went on far too long and under delivered imo. Best I recall, nothing significant happened in terms of real suspense/terror whatever until about 40 pages remained.I *hated* it.
